The actual answer is legal and complicated. Something about not giving you anything but rather demonstrating you can redeem X tokens with the foundation by requesting they be sent to certain publishers who then do receive the token and complete KYC without the holder of the wallet ever needing to do KYC or legally own the token.

I think there is a more practical answer... grants from Brave Foundation have an expiration date, so if your wallet says that some BAT are expiring on a particular date, those BAT were a grant from Brave Foundation. They also don't show up in Uphold, so if your wallet is linked to Uphold, the balance shown in your wallet will be higher than your Uphold balance by the amount of the grant.

BAT that you receive in Brave Foundation grants technically still belongs to Brave Foundation and it's never actually in your wallet... you just have the ability to tell Brave to tip it to someone (and they can say no, if you want to support an internet terrorist like Null). BAT that you receive in ad payout grants actually belongs to you, though; it gets transferred into your wallet and it never expires, so you can do with it as you wish.

Would love if BAT became something you could use to buy real physical shit. I know you can convert it through uphold into certain prepaid card amounts? but i mean an actual support for purchases online akin to paypal.

It was...what 4 years ago when Crypto was at its highest and all of a sudden everything just magically lost 70% of its value in like 3 weeks. Whether or not it was the market deflating or what that doesn't seem to be re-occuring now, seems to be limited to just BAT it seems.
